The older you get, the faster it goes. I’m talking about life, that is. That’s something my father told me many years ago when I was a mere teenager. I didn’t quite grasp what he was saying back then, but who cared. I was just a kid playing baseball and having fun. As life begins to fly by, we tend to forget the simple things. The things we take for granted… Continue reading

Showtime, Kobe Bryant style is in town tonight! What’s the difference between back in the day Lakers Showtime and Showtime Kobe style? Well, back in the day, Lakers showtime would stroll into town with Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Cooper, Nixon, and Byron Scott running and gunning at will. Of course, slam dunking the ball at their beckon call too. If you were a Lakers fan back then, there was nothing more exciting. It… Continue reading
